Last Sunday the church and society took vote to accept Rev O. G. Nc Intire's resignation and passed the fol- lowing resolutions
 WHEREAS, Our dearly beloved pastor, Rev O. G. McIntire, has determined to sever his connection with the First Cong. church of Cornwall, Conn, for further study,
 Resolued: We part with him with extreme reluctance, feeling that the loss to our church and society is great, and Is not easily made good. His piety, his earnestness, his christian charity, have endeared him to his people to such an extent that his departure is the cause of extreme depression in our parish.
 Resoloed: That the community in general, in the departure of MT McIntire looses good and enterprising citizen, one interested in every work calculated to promote its interests.
 Resolced: That we extend to Mir McIntire and his estimable wife, our earnest wishes for their spiritual and temporal well-being, wherever in the course of time their lot may be cast.
 Resoloed That copy of these resolu- tions be engrossed upon the records of this parish.
